β¨ new from me: over 1 million Bay Area residents are served by microtransit, but it's hardly discoverable. What should agencies and our region do to make it easier to take multimodal trips combining micro and fixed route transit? @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social

Hyperlocal exciting news, the new light at Ashby BART's been activated! @prinzrob.bsky.social @walkbikeberk.bsky.social
This is one of the coolest transit priority systems I've seen - a traffic light midway along the road creates a break in traffic for buses to use as a queue jump.
Fascinating article about the virtual contraflow queue-jump (also called "electronic bus overtaking lane" in the article) opened in 2019 between Ehrendingen and Baden in Switzerland. There is also a video showing how it works. www.badenertagblatt.ch/aargau/baden...
I made another fun little @amtrak.com tool. This one shows you where along the long distance Amtrak routes it's daytime or nighttime, depending on the train and time of year! daynight.transittools.dev
it also shows the day-night cycle on @viarailcanada.bsky.social 's long-distance lines. An eastbound trip on the Canadian through the Rockies would be so spectacular!
as mentioned on the site, I owe the idea to the old Trains magazine day-night map! It's out of date, missing VIA Rail, and doesn't let you set your travel date, so I put together the map instead! www.trains.com/wp-content/u...

The Bay Area public transit #MeasureRTM polling shows 48% support, 34% opposed, 18% undecided. This means only 1 in 9 of the undecideds need to vote YES to get over 50%. Volunteer w the campaign now to help make this happen, opportunities listed here: πππ luma.com/connectbayarea
A new poll finds 48% support for the Regional Transit Measure, revealing divisions over whether residents should pay more to preserve Bay Area public transportation.
Still in absolute awe of @mysfpuc.bsky.social's Fifield-Cahill Ridge Trail that I hiked on Saturday with a group for Transit Month. What a way to round out the month! The trail requires a docent to protect the rare habitats, which are probably some of the most beautiful I've seen on the peninsula.
Just heard that AB 1599 was signed into law! Once fully implemented, one physical stop on the ground will have one name and one ID in apps (and other datasets)! Data standardization is a *major* part of transit integration. This is wonky but so important! www.seamlessbayarea.org/blog/2026/6/...
The California Coastal Commission has allowed the NPS to reduce the number of parking spots in Stinson Beach for floodwater fixes, despite the loss of public access it entails - and the NPS is interested in collaborating with Marin Transit during peak season π www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

there's a new segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail opening in late August! 6 miles of trail up above the Crystal Springs Reservoir, right next to SamTrans' Hwy 92 & Skyline Blvd bus stop. www.sfpuc.gov/skyline-wate...
I've built a map displaying where on the Amtrak network you can take your bike, line-by-line and station-by-station. This data isn't available anywhere else, check out where you can go! amtrak-bike-map.transittools.dev
I gave the site a proper domain and name, so it'll be easier to remember: bikesonamtrak.com
One of the biggest gaps in California transit right now is the lack of a cohesive intercity network. The Gold Runner already coordinates with lots of regional partners β build on those relationships and add more partners, and such a network begins to take shape! cal.streetsblog.org/2026/08/04/g...
